.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
With the \fBgetyx()\fR macro, the cursor position of the window is placed in
the two integer variables \fIy\fR and \fIx\fR.
.sp
.LP
With the \fBgetparyx()\fR macro, if \fIwin\fR is a subwindow, the beginning
coordinates of the subwindow relative to the parent window are placed into two
integer variables, \fIy\fR and \fIx\fR. Otherwise, \fB\(mi1\fR is placed into
\fIy\fR and \fIx\fR.
.sp
.LP
Like \fBgetyx()\fR \fB,\fR the \fBgetbegyx()\fR and \fBgetmaxyx()\fR macros
store the current beginning coordinates and size of the specified window.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
The return values of these macros are undefined (that is, they should not be
used as the right-hand side of assignment statements).

necessary before the variables \fIy\fR and \fIx\fR.
